The New American Majority
A bevy of TV comedians are thanking Donald Trump for their good fortune as the New Year is upon us. Stephen Colbert perhaps said it best, “With a guy like Trump in the White House, who needs comedy writers? The jokes write themselves.”
Will Trump be there to supply material in 2019? For the sake of the country, let’s hope not!

During a White House interview on Tuesday, Donald Trump said there would be hell to pay if he is impeached.
“I think that the people would revolt if that happened,” Trump told Reuters.
Asked about Trump’s comment, a senior House Democrat shared a different predication.
“The day Trump leaves office, whether by resignation, impeachment or an act of god, will be a day for rejoicing, not revolting,” said the congressman, who wished to remain anonymous.
The lawmaker revealed there is even talk among House Democrats that Trump’s last day in office should be celebrated as a national holiday.
“The end of our long national nightmare should be observed … forever,” said a spokesperson for the soon-to-be Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.
Of course the Republican-controlled Senate would never go along with such a proposal.
The idea, for now, will have to be put on ice until 2020 when Democrats retake the Oval Office, the Senate and keep control of the House.
